What happened: MLB Network broke down Fernando Tatis Jr.'s performance at Citi Field, where he hit a pair of home runs. The outfielder also robbed Francisco Lindor of a grand slam. Analyst DeRo noted his unique ability to act as an entertainer while taking over a game.
Why it matters: The leaping catch at the wall capped a massive two-way effort that shifted momentum. Such high-leverage defensive plays can swing tight matchups, keeping opponents off the board in critical spots.
By the numbers: The San Diego Padres hold a 66-56 record this season, scoring 4.3 runs per game while allowing 4.1. They recently secured a 5-2 victory on August 18 following a 2-1 defeat the previous day.
What to watch: The series between the San Diego Padres and the New York Mets is tied 1-1 with the next game scheduled. Tatis will look to maintain his production at the plate and in the outfield.
